Re: head studs

Take one of the headstuds to Lowes/Home Depot/hardware store and get the correct allen key size. I would suggest using an allen key socket so you can torque the studs.

Re: head studs

you are supposed to hand tighten the studs into the block. no torquing required. you only torque the nut after the head is put on. and thats a 12mm 12pt socket

This is correct.
